    So I was watching Joe Rogan's podcast when Lennox Lewis and comedian Russel Peters were on and I gotta say, I was pretty impressed with Peters's knowledge of the sport. He really knows his boxing well and could even be a boxing analyst if he keeps up with it.

    How would everyone rate celebrities that talk boxing or seem like they are? Are most of them just casuals?

    Some other celebrities from what I've heard talk boxing are like:
    Mario Lopez
    Joe Rogan
    Chris Rock

    Anybody else?

    That sexy ass Rosie Perez. She aged like wine and not milk.

    As said already, rosy Perez. She knows the sport well n is always in attendance for fights. A.C Slater surprisingly. I had nothing new to add but yeah...those are the two that come to my mind.

    Celebrities aint special. Some love boxing just like "regular folks". Joe Rogan is in the fighting business anyway so hardly a revelation.
    Most of them (particularly the ladies) that turn up to fights just do so for the attention or are casuals.

    I've not heard them talk about it but you used to see Jack Nicholson and Gordon ramsey at nearly every fight going... You'd think they'd know there stuff

    Yeah, I think the “A-listers” at fight night have slimmed down, compared to the past.

    In the 80’s and 90’s you would see the likes of Nicholson, Stallone, Denzel etc. It sorta added to the glamour and “greatness” of the sport, back when it was a BIG deal.

    Denzel still hits fights

    Wahlberg and Ferrel used to go to Pacquiao fights not sure if they’d go to others

    Don Cheadle goes to fights

    I haven’t heard them talk about it

    As mentioned previously, Rosie Perez and Mario Lopez. I'd say Peter Berg as well, he actually managed a couple of guys. Vince Vaughn knows a bit more than the casual observer as well.

    David ''Diablo'' Diamante's encyclopedic knowledge of the sport is as vast and deep as an ocean and his boxing brain is as sharp as his dress sense and his taste in cigars. :deal:

    I feel like I Wahlberg was at one of the more recent fights. As well as Dave Chappelle who goes to a lot of fights.
